League Partnerships

Providing unique benefits through our exclusive partnerships

Our vision is based on the commitment to building long-term relationships with our league partners. We offer innovative and competitive services and solutions that continually evolve how fans experience sports and how leagues maintain integrity. Our partnerships with some of the top leagues in professional sports provides us a competitive advantage in distributing accurate and fast data.

Creating exciting new media and betting products with Next Gen Stats

We are the NFL’s exclusive distributor for official real-time scores, player statistics and play-by-play data (Game Statistics and Information System/ “GSIS”), as well as the NFL’s proprietary Next Gen Stats to media outlets and sports betting operators in the U.S. and internationally where sports betting is legal and regulated.

Next Gen Stats, which debuted in the 2014 NFL season, consists of real-time, location-based data such as speed, acceleration and distance traveled, for all players, in all games. This unique information, alongside GSIS, is distributed by Sportradar to give fans a closer look into the game, and allows them to experience it in ways never seen before. Insights from Next Gen Stats also are available for fans in-stadium, at home and everywhere else that NFL content is consumed.

Partners in many different areas of the game

Sportradar makes statistical information for the NBA, WNBA and NBA Development League more widely available than ever before, delivering data to fans, teams, media and other data users in more than 80 countries and territories. As the official provider of real-time NBA league statistics, Sportradar distributes player-tracking data from Second Spectrum, the new official optical tracking provider of the NBA. Player-tracking data includes advanced statistics, such as speed, distance, drives, paint touches and defensive impact, and is based on unique technology for machine understanding.

The NBA has also incorporated Sportradar’s Integrity Services into its existing game integrity protection measures.

Official and Exclusive Global Partners

We are MLB’s exclusive distributor of real-time game statistics, across international markets (excluding the U.S.), to both media companies and regulated sports betting operators. We also have exclusive rights to distribute live industry standard audio-visual game feeds to gaming operators outside the U.S. in territories where sports betting is legal.

In the US, Sportradar has the same exclusive rights for official real time statistics distribution to media entities and serves as the official supplier of MLB’s real time betting data feed.

With our unique access to MLB’s Statcast data, we are exploring a variety of exciting collaboration opportunities with MLB to build compelling products that increase fan engagement.

Along with our commercial partnership, MLB incorporates our Integrity Services to its existing game integrity protection measures. As such, we monitor and analyze every MLB game via our award-winning Fraud Detection System and provide MLB with educational components, as well as access to our Intelligence & Investigation unit.

The league also uses Sportradar’s Fraud Detection System to monitor global gaming activity and trends across more than 550 operators worldwide in order to pinpoint unusual patterns that could be cause for concern.

Unlocking the power of Esports data

Sportradar has exclusive rights to process and distribute real-time match data going deep into fantasy-level detail, and offers live scores to customers across the globe. As always with Sportradar, speed and accuracy that operators can rely on characterize our offering. Moreover, our Fraud Detection System ensures that the ESL has the best and broadest insights into any suspicious behaviors around its competitions.
